Safe & Sound was chosen as the first organization featured in Beyond the Fog’s new series highlighting the work of San Francisco nonprofits.
Interviewed at our Waller Street location, Dr. Pegah Faed, Safe & Sound CEO, explained how our work helps children grow up safely in loving, supportive environments with their families.
Safe & Sound’s direct services to families, including our 24/7 TALK Line, are the cornerstone of our organization, and also inform our advocacy work at the state and national level. We truly believe that policy and systems change should be rooted in the voices of the community to have the greatest impact. For example, Safe & Sound is taking a leadership role in the statewide effort to shift from mandated reporting to community supporting.

Pegah also talked about her own childhood and career explaining how they fuel her passion for leading the organization that has been helping children and families thrive for over 50 years.
“I do want parents, caregivers, families to know that there are experiences that will happen inevitably in our lives and how do we reach out for help because there is help out there.”
